A/n: So so sorry for the lateness guys! I promise it won't happen again. A surprise POV will be in this chapter…haha I almost gave away an entire chapter but luckily I realised what I was doing and pressed backspace... The werewolves communication will be in italics as will any thoughts Edward hears. R&R please =D

Edwards POV

The air around us slowly warmed as a putrid smell filled the air , we could hear their steady heart beats as they approached, their thoughts were confused as to what to do.

"they don't know what to do?" I said quietly knowing only the family would hear me "they don't know whether to stop and find out if there's a reason or just to fight"

Maybe we should stop and hear them out

Why should we Seth? They broke the treaty. Leah Clearwater's bitter statement was easy to pick out

I think Seth is right Leah

Its all about you isn't it Sam she replied bitterly

Oh come on Leah, give it up Jacob Black replied we don't want to hear this stuff again

The pack sauntered out of the trees in front of us. Carlisle stepped forward "Welcome to Marquette"

What a freakin' smartass Leah commented to the others

He's being nice Leah Seth replied

"you've made this trip because you know we broke the treaty haven't you?"

Bright sparks aren't they? she commented again

Would you please shut up so we can hear him Leah Jacob replied

"we know we broke the treaty and it wasn't by choice. Edward had his leg shattered by another vampire who was able to cloak his scent around us, when Bella started a relationship with Edward the vampire got jealous and teamed with another two vampires and a warlock. The warlock was killed as was one of the vampires. I decided to perform surgery to fix his leg but during surgery his heart rate slowed and it would not speed up. The only other option was his death but we couldn't keep Bella away from her soul mate." Carlisle explained

I call bullshit one of the younger vampires said to the others

I don't think so, I saw the way Edward and Bella looked at one another as Carlisle told the story. it's the same way Sam looks at Emily Jacob explained as Leah growled

I agree Seth thought

Me too

The me too's chorused through the older members.

"we would appreciate if this didn't come to a fight, Edward has amazing control and we all follow the same diet of animal blood. We have also gained a new member of the Cullen clan, Laurent here was a part of Edwards capturing but he was the one who helped us the most. He has adopted our diet." Laurent smiled at the wolves

I suppose we should head home then Sam said to the pack

"you're welcome to stay the evening and get yourselves fed and washed up…" I trailed off

You can hear us? one of them asked

"I can" I smiled

Oh they all chorused

"Yeah, why don't you guys turn in your human forms? We promise we won't bite. Literally"

Oh real funny Leah replied sarcastically

"Well we can all wait inside if you want" I shrugged again

Fine, we'll be in soon Sam replied.

"Inside we go then" I put my arm around Bella and led her inside as the family followed.

Leah's POV

I hid behind a bush and phased into my human form pulling my raggedy old clothes over my tired limbs. I went up to the door knocking on it, I looked around for the others wondering why they were taking so long "Hello. You must be Leah." I felt my heart practically stop as I looked at the creature; his beautiful brown eye drew me in as I tried to scrape myself up off of the floor

"I…I am" I stuttered

"I'm Laurent, come in" he stepped aside. I sauntered in the door to see Edward grinning smugly keep your mouth shut and let it sink in. He nodded and went back to his piano beginning to play. I looked at Laurent again.

"I'm um. Sorry about that." I smiled hoping he'd accept my apology.

"Its not a problem. What's it like?" he asked curiously

"What's what like?" I said completely oblivious to what he meant

"What's it like being a werewolf?"

"Oh. That. It's not bad, I get to stay young and look young for as long as I want although I probably look like a wreck" I rolled my eyes "it had been kind of awkward having the whole pack mind thing. With Sam being the alpha it hurt. But I guess now I've kind of forgotten about it." Edward smirked at that comment as he continued to play

"Why did you have a problem with Sam being the leader?"

"As werewolves we 'imprint'. This means we find our soul mate no matter what our current situation may be. I was dating Sam when my cousin Emily came to visit." This was the first time I didn't flinch or cringe or wrap my arms around myself to keep it together when I told the story

"And he imprinted on Emily" he stated

"Exactly" I smiled.

The rest of the pack entered the house one by one each giving me a confused look "Seth get over here" I hissed

"What is it sis?" he attempted to sound casual but failed miserably

"I could ask you the same thing you moron, why the hell am I being stared at?"

"Because you imprinted. Well Sam said you did." he shrugged

"Yeah. And?"

"Well look at who you imprinted on" Seth glanced at Laurent who looked away quickly, I bit my lip

"Aren't you subtle Seth? Now fuck off." I glared at him as he sauntered over to some of the others. I kept my head turned as imagined what was going through Laurent's head at this moment.

"It's really not that bad Leah" Edward spoke once again

"Right. Thanks" I rolled my eyes.

I looked around at everyone in the room one by one trying hard to avoid Laurent's gaze. A room full of vampires and werewolves, natural enemies, yet here we were not only getting along but becoming friends. Nothing felt right at this point. I had imprinted on my natural enemy. I hadn't even had more than one conversation with him and I was already in love with him, I'm supposed to be his forever. The background noise was starting to cloud my already muddled up mind as I stood up, I walked toward the door taking one last look at Laurent before running out, the shiny black Harley caught my eye once again. I bounded toward it hoping that by some miracle the keys would be there, a flash of movement passed by me as the shiny keys now sat in the ignition.

"Thanks Swan" I muttered before climbing on and kick starting it, wind felt refreshing as it hit my face. The minutes soon became hours I slowed the bike finally glancing at a sign, Silver City, I was still in state, at this point I wasn't sure if this was a good thing or a bad thing, I followed my instinct and soon found an empty field, I stopped the bike and kicked the stand down climbing off the beautiful bike. I found my spot in the middle of the field lying down amongst the tall grass closing my eyes, they would follow me soon, at least someone would. Even if Edward kept his mouth shut the pack would at least try tracking me.

I felt someone lay down beside me, I knew they were a vampire but I wasn't sure if I wanted to find which one

"You're really hard to track, you know" a smooth voice chuckled as I felt my heart race, it wasn't just any vampire, it was my vampire.

"Didn't take you long" I whispered

"I could beat the Harley any day" he laughed a little

"I could too but it's tiring"

"Not for me" he sighed

"What is it with you vampires and missing sleep? You don't know what I would've given to have not dreams when Sam imprinted" I finally opened my eyes looking into his beautiful golden ones.

"You never really know what you're really wishing for until it comes true."

"Isn't that the truth" I laughed as my worries flooded back to me

"How about we agree to be friends?" he suggested as I felt my heart sink "for now"

"Its corny but it's a start" I smiled a little "we are strangers after all."

A/n: I know I know, it all went very peaceful but there will be other problems facing the Family and even the wolves, not just Leah. Leah and Laurent is starting good but there may be a twist, not sure yet. I have to once again apologize for the wait. I've been super super busy with assignments. Reviews are much appreciated =D
